Disney chefs have plenty of menu surprises in store for the animal-themed restaurants at Disney's Animal Kingdom, all featuring gazelle-paced service, innovative cooking methods and a colorful atmosphere in keeping with the exotic theme of each area.

Just outside the entrance to the theme park is Rainforest Cafe, remarkably re-creating the sights and sounds of a rainforest. The restaurant, featuring an assortment of casual dining menu items including pastas, salads, sandwiches and desserts, can be reached from both outside and inside the park.
